What a fantastic retelling of Robin Hood. I have always loved this story of helping the poor, even if it does come at a cost. I really enjoy Marian’s characters and her unrelenting determination to do good. I loved all the twists and turns that kept me turning pages until late in the night

THIEF AND THE NOBLE by DANA LeCHEMINANT is a fun read with some depth - a Regency novel which takes place in London during Lady Marian Russell’s first Season. It follows closely after the tale of Robin Hood and Maid Marion, with a great deal of excitement and some near calls as Marion and Rob, the Elusive Earl, try and fix the world by redistributing the “Quality’s” wealth. They target those who mistreat their servants and other poor souls who have the misfortune of getting in the way of these upper class tyrants.
Marian is fascinated by a man who is “both earl and midnight thief”, and Rob in turn cannot stop thinking about this feisty young woman who is determined to be a worthy member of his team.
When another thief comes onto the scene, indiscriminately robbing people who do not have much money, things get really interesting.
I love the characters, the setting and the story, but the title nearly put me off reading the book. I feel it does not do it justice! I am so glad I did read it though, as I really enjoyed the novel and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Covenant Communications. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

A fun take on Robin Hood. I liked how this story wove elements of the original through, but also had its own take. I thought it was a really decent retelling.

A different take on the tale of Robin Hood. A thief who is a noble and a noble who wants to be a thief. Lady Marion Russell, is bored with her first Season in London. Lady Marion talks her cousin, into being an accomplice, to her scheme of seeing how the lower class lives. . Lord Huntingdon, doesn't like to bring attention to himself, and can drive anyone away with a glare. Some nights he also dresses in dark clothing and is a thief among the rich, only because he wants to give to the poor.
Lady Marion longs to help those less fortunate than her., but isn't sure how.
The Thief and the Noble was an easy book to get into and captured my attention.
